This looks like something a kindergarten kid would draw in crayon.
I just did a swap on my Meteor. Factory 312 auto. Motor was freshened 30 years ago with guides, rings, and seals. Went with a new Blue Thunder...
Just know that if you use this system, your stock radio will not fit. It’s too deep, something Classic Auto Air neglects to tell you until after...
I dunno. When I sell, the value instantly drops to scrap value
Yep, it’s a 292. That Thunderbird Y-8 emblem is just that: an emblem
I have a good friend who’s a massive Tin Indian fan. I tried for years to buy his 54 Star Chief convert from him, but I’ve given up trying. He...
I’m just not a Crown Vic guy. I prefer the 56 Victoria. Straight up two or four door hardtop. I like post cars too, but the Crown Vic is heavy,...
Yep, Meteor sedans all around when I was young. Meteor Crowns, converts, and 4dr hardtops were like Hen’s teeth though. Regina’s an odd place....
I’ve done several of these cars down through the years. My last full resto was a 56 Monarch Richelieu 2dr hardtop with factory Air.. yes the real...
I think I made a big assed mistake with this bucket o’ shit
Nice and complete, but had a previous quickie paint job in resale red and white to hide some sins. Has a nice mostly correct 55 Crown red and...
That, Sir is damned near off the charts cool! I love those things, the longer and lower the better. I just missed a running, driving, rust free...
Welcome, I’m from Anna, just north of a McKinney on 75. I own a transmission shop in Lewisville, so if y’all ever want to do something in the...
wuch’y’all think of my cleverly laid plans?
I will say that this is one serious dawg off the line and around town. The 312 was lifted from a low mile 57 Turnpike Cruiser about 15 years ago,...
Yep. I’m installing an A/C system and I want more cooling. Plus, we have much more stop and go BS down here.
can anyone here recommend an aluminum radiator for a stock 56 Ford car with a 312 engine? I’d like the thickest cores available, obviously....
You realize that if she sees this, all gains will be lost. A precarious position indeed
No they don’t seal like a post car. I wheeled her down the highway with the windows all up, just to see how much they sealed, and it’s nowhere...
I hear and agree with what y’all saying. But I absolutely 100% don’t want servo motors running my controls. Call me old fashioned, whatever, I...

It’s a Meteor. A Ford Brand in Canada from 49 through till the mid 60s or so. She might be a 4 door, but she’s the world’s coolest four door. And...
Good deal. My wife has Lupus and the heat bothers her, so I’m looking at an A/C system. The one thing I like about the Classic system is that...
I’d say the look on her face says it all.
I knew this car 40 years ago when I was 17, and it stuck in my memory as quite pink and very rare. Much like pussy was to me back then. Fast...
OK. I’ve head that they’re great for rods but a bit weak for full sized cars.
Vintage Air or Classic Air Conditioning? It’s going in a 56 Ford hardop. Comments?
Next comes Covid-20. Instead of getting sick, you’ll just spontaneously combust
They were my wheel of choice for my very first 1950s ride, and at the time were the in thing. Today, it’s all about nostalgia, baby!
